SB186 – Senator Larry Stutts (R-Sheffield)
Senate Bill (SB) 186, the Children’s Equal Access Act, passed in the Senate Judiciary Committee March 15, 2017 and could be up for a floor vote in the Senate April 4, 2017.

The Children’s Equal Access Act, SB 186 incorporates the latest scientific research and creates a rebuttable presumption of equal (50%) or approximately equal (35%) parenting time between both fit parents.

SB 186 also comes as a result of surveying and consulting other experienced attorneys and judges in this field of practice; members of the Alabama Law Institute Family Law Standing Committee, Alabama Family Rights Association Advisory committee, and state executive and local branches of government proclamations calling on community and state leaders to support shared parenting because of its benefits for children.
